Black Label Society Kicks Off 2026 North American Tour
On March 6, 2026, Black Label Society launched their highly anticipated North American tour at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO. The band treated fans to an electrifying career-spanning set, highlighted by a surprise performance of Ozzy Osbourne’s classic hit “No More Tears.”
A Historic Revival
This performance marked the first live rendition of “No More Tears” by Black Label Society since 2001. For fans familiar with the band’s discography, a studio version of their cover appeared as a bonus track on the 1999 North American release of their debut album, Sonic Brew.
Zakk Wylde: A Metal Legend
At the heart of Black Label Society is guitarist Zakk Wylde, who has been a pivotal figure in heavy metal for nearly four decades. Wylde’s association with Ozzy Osbourne has solidified his reputation, having contributed to every Osbourne solo album except for 2020’s Ordinary Man. His work on iconic albums such as No More Tears, Ozzmosis, and Black Rain showcases his status as one of the genre’s most formidable guitarists.
Upcoming Album: Engines of Demolition
On March 27, 2026, Black Label Society will unveil their new studio album, Engines of Demolition. According to Wylde, the album reflects an emotional and creative journey stemming from years of relentless touring. He began writing the album in 2022 while on the road with the Pantera Celebration World Tour, with work continuing through 2025.
A Deeply Personal Tribute
Among the album’s standout tracks is “Ozzy’s Song,” which Wylde describes as the most personally meaningful ballad he has ever written. This heartfelt tribute honors Ozzy Osbourne, the artist who provided Wylde with his first significant break and played a crucial role in shaping his illustrious career.
